Changing printer permissions

[Guest]

I'm trying to set up permissions for a printer: I select the printer, <CTRL> and then right-click. The SECURITY tab does not appear though
I'm doing this from an Admin. account - XP Home, SP

What am I doing wrong? thanks for your help

To display the Security tab:

1. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Folder Options
4. On the View tab, under Advanced settings, clear Use simple file sharing [Recommended].

(above documented in Windows XP's "Help and Support Center")

"Use simple file sharing" is not on the "Advanced settings" list of the folder options. I'm using XP Home -- not Pro. Is it because of that
